"So....Uh When thing's go South...You can atleast avoid, East....or West." The above is a great example of why I find Mr. ShortGames videos so entertaining. I like that he doesn't edit out incomplete thoughts or commentary that doesn't go exactly as planned. He's refreshingly unpretentious! Plus, I learn & see new stuff! I believe Mr. ShortGame may be the only Golf Related content that I watch regularly, that doesn't have an English accent? 🇺🇸

@donsmnc5319 4 жыл бұрын

Conduct your own informal study at he first tee of your next round and note how many slice, cut or hit the ball to the right, for RH golfers that is. 90% may not be completely right but it can't be far off. I watched 4 groups tee off in front of me and my group yesterday and all but 1 player hit to the right.

@chilipep01 2 жыл бұрын

Wow! I bought the alignment sticks and used your method! I finally stopped hooking left and my shots got a lot straighter! Finally broke 90 and also almost broke 80. I shot an 84 but should’ve broke 80, I played the last two holes while getting dark with an LED glow ball lol. Thanks for the great tips! I watch your videos all the time! Thanks again! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I love #2! At first I said: "What?" Play my Driver in the center??? That's Ludicrous!!!" but then the Tilt! Middle Set-up & TILT" into the proper address position. Well that's an excellent, easy way to get into the proper position, yet I've never heard it explained so succinctly! Great Tip & Video!

Thanks Matt! Just ot done with 9 today in light rain. First drive was a bomb down the center for just under 300yds. I kept pulling in my club for the remainder of my drives at the last second causing my drives to aggressively hook. I knew what I was doing, but it was mainly a mechanical alignment issue that I couldn't mentally compensate for. Looking forward to watching this again and getting it right on the range. There's nothing like looking like a decent golfer on paper only to see you screw up a whole 9 holes.

Thanks for this informative video. Two tips - setting hands back at address and club to target/feet slightly left - are different than other tips I've gotten. Will try them out. My irons are fine but I get that occasional pull with my driver that is a game breaker. Question: I've had 2 back surgeries (L5/S1) so I've had to shorten my swing which also creates issued with a pull. Any advise with those of us who have to have a shorter backswing?

Matt - to start the downswing do you turn the chest, dragging passive arms down into the ball, or do you mostly pull the left arm with left shoulder? Reason I ask is that I have been practicing to crank up my swing speed by swinging arms faster and my left shoulder is getting sore. This can't be the right way.

Good advice. I had my right ankle replaced. For 8 yrs. I couldnt put a lot of weight on that ankle. It was already folded to the right. Hard to transfer my weight. Anyway.. I now can transfer my weight. Then I pulled all my shots. Got my irons bent 1 degree flat. That helped. I saw a pic of my swing. My right elbow wasnt tucked in. just out a little. My right shoulder looked like it was coming over the top. Pull... My driver the same way. My left arm wasnt straight at contact. Could you do a video or you may have. i will check. With the arm tucked and the shoulder overt the top. I went from a 6 hcp to a 20. Missing every thing left. Big draws to pulls. Going to stop playing.

@glennwisse6271 4 жыл бұрын

Going left is primarily from coming over the top. Most amateurs come over the top and swing left. So now you get a pull or a pull slice or a pull hook depending on the face angle at impact. I agree with everything MSG is saying but fix the over the top first and foremost. There are tons of instructions out there to fix it. Find one that works for you. MSG mentioned it briefly if you listen carefully. Keeping that elbow in is one way. Great video. Alignment is certainly a super fundamental. Enjoyed it. I enjoy all your stuff and the podcasts are great too.

@parmanduke 4 жыл бұрын

Not necesarily. Having an inside out swing path, aiming right, or with closed stance is a recipe for snap hooks.

@jakepadgett5569 Жыл бұрын

I stopped aiming right and made sure my toe wasn’t off the ground. Making sure the whole club was flat on the ground made me stand a little taller and felt weird at first but I struck the ball much better today and fixed a lot of my misses to the left . I still missed left but not near as much plus I actually missed a couple of times to the right which never happens.

@justmythought1586 4 жыл бұрын

I thought I was always square with the club face until the day I put a small rod with a magnet at one end. Put it on the club face. Found the club face was pointing a little to the left. Fixed what I thought were pulls instead of misalignment.

As far as alignments I agree with you, but one little problem. If the ball alignment stick is aimed to the middle of the fairway and the feet alignment stick is perfectly parallel, then the feet alignment stick is actually aimed 3 feet left of the center of the fairway.

Now I've to check my hand position because this off season I implemented a Long & Mid Iron Ball Striking "Pro" Tip that puts my hands in a much more pronounced, forward position, to the point where the club is delofted by 25-30%. The Lesson/Pro Tip claims that the best ball strikers on Tour, deloft their long and middle irons by 25-30%. It seems to be working well, from a contact pov, but I've only been able to do it into my little in-house net set-up, so the only feedback I get is from the feel at impact (solid or otherwise) and to a lesser degree, how the ball is launched in the first 3 or 4 yards. I must admit, after seeing this video, I am a bit worried! I hope this new "Pro Move" doesn't equal FAR LEFT!!! :(

All that you say makes sense but I disagree with the shaft being in line with your shirt buttons. I've never seen a golf instructor NOT emphasize foreward shaft lean with the ironss in order to pinch the ball. You can have a lower right shoulder and still have varying degrees of foreward shaft lean. What am I missing?
